  • Reddit is like, dude you can't just come out and SAY it.

  • That's a reasonable argument I largely hadn't considered because I genuinely hadn't considered he cares whether he has goodwill, or would even accept he had lost it anyway. But if he does, and he has, you could well be right.

    I think this is just another 5000 check from doge though.

  • People think they can trust the slop, is the thing. If they even think so far ahead, they probably think that an answer that exists on wikipedia will just be provided by the AI, saving them the time to search for it themselves. I've heard more than one horror story of ChatGPT use in particular backfiring on someone who somehow legitimately thought it was just another form of search engine, and didn't verify the information provided.

  • Oh. I got bamboozled.

  • I thought the Onion was supposed to be satire.

  • Man that was fast. [Blank] Of Voice really tied me up longer than I care to admit.

  • I mean, sure, but what's the advantage in giving any of it back? You'd think he'd just steal it. He's not exactly shy about committing crimes, and the justice system is out to lunch in perpetuity when it involves him.

  • Now use it to print another 3d printer!

  • Blowback is the absolute least that these traitors deserve.

  • I don't believe it in the first place, but if I did I would want to know what the catch is. Altruistic is a term I sincerely doubt has ever been unironically applied to that... thing.

  • You’re lecturing me for “defeatism” while you’ve said yourself:

    Yeah the thousands of people who are going to die, be bankrupted, and or go homeless in the meantime probably don’t give a fuck about how it might change the elections in a year.

    There was never a time in American history where checks and balances actually protected the rights of anyone. Nothing we are seeing today is new. This is how the system has always worked. Also hierarchical authority is incapable of fighting corruption.

    So when you say it, it’s righteous outrage. When I say it, it’s “bootlicking”? That’s not conviction, that’s ego.

    You’re not defending hope. You’re defending the sound of your own voice. If you can’t tell the difference between grief and complicity, that’s your literacy problem, not mine.

    And coming from someone who lectures strangers about “polite forms of communication” while doing nothing but sneer and posture, you might want to sit this one out.

    Yeah. I can look at post histories too. The difference is, I’ve offered concrete examples, a thing you are oddly reluctant to do, because any of my comments would fall directly under the explanation I already provided, one you’ve agreed with in your own words. One wonders what might motivate your dodging a challenge issued multiple times.

  • Is this new? I don't remember this being a thing.

  • Cuomo is one of those politicians whose appeal completely baffles me. He comes across as self-serving to the core. He is exactly the kind of opportunistic, power-obsessed figure people usually say they can’t stand in politics. What’s the draw? The draw must be limited, since NYC rejected him in favor of Mamdani twice, but still.

  • Cuomo did not do well, but I was surprised he did even as well as he did. It IS a beacon of light that at least one of these pieces of crap got replaced by someone who seems to actually care about something outside of themselves.

  • Again, justify that accusation. You don’t know a thing about me. I’ll give you some information you don’t deserve, and the only thing I want to see in response is either an apology or a real argument explaining what your problem actually is.

    I am married to someone who has an autoimmune issue. Health insurance for my family is mandatory. I get that insurance for her through a job I hate so much I fantasize about getting into a wreck on the way into work because then I wouldn't have to go. Together we developed a plan that would allow me to do a career change that would allow me to switch careers into something that DOESN'T make me dread damn near every waking moment. A plan that relied on the ACA as an insurance stopgap. That just got taken away. Stolen away. Given to Nazis in exchange for NOTHING.

    What about that sounds like “bootlicking” to you? What makes it so unbelievable that I might be upset? Explain yourself, apologize, or just have the decency to stop responding altogether.

    Edit: Initial draft was uncivil. Cleaned the language up some, not entirely, while maintaining the substance of the initial response.

  • Between that and their apparent desire to try to kick obviously hurting people when they are down, maybe they ought run for office themselves. Would fit right in.

  • I really hope there is, that he's successful and becomes a blueprint for a better way forward. I'm just really close to having totally lost hope.

  • I genuinely don't know how that makes any sense in response to what I just said.

    I'm over here fucking despairing about being betrayed AGAIN by the group that's supposed to be NOT Nazis, having my life fucked in another new and novel east, and I'm licking boots? Whose fucking boots am I licking?

    Make that bullshit accusation make sense.

  • He will probably authorize their back pay and then steal it. Why not, he gets away with literally anything.
